You cannot possibly be serious

I just tried to add some new gadgets to the sidebars, and there are over 1600 different gadgets that you can add. Not that any of them are any good, except the ones you make yourself. Here are some of the first 100:

• The Daily Puppy: New pic of a cute puppy every day
• Daily Images of the Wittelsbach Blue Diamond
• Courtship Gadget: Advice on how to get your girl
• Teeth Whitening Tips
• Shrek Forever After Countdown
• Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Quotes
• Health Tip of the Day
• Love Gadget: Random tips/quotes/everything else to do with "love."
• Cute Baby Animal Pictures
• Jessica Alba Pictures
• Michael Jordan Quotes
• Pictures of Winnie the Pooh
• Cute Pictures of Kittens
• Jaws Movies Quotes
• Wisdom Quotes
• Cameron Diaz Pictures
• Something in Arabic that I obviously can't read
• Car Wash Music Thieves (don't ask, I don't know)
• Pictures of Baby Exotic Animals

 That's only a fifth of them. The first 100, I mean. I stopped reading after 500 of the stupid things. What a waste of time. I need something better to do.

Way to ruin the message!

Ok, this has got to be the stupidest song I've ever heard. Sure, nice lyrics, I'll give them that much credit, but they have to same problem as Justin Bieber: they think we're deaf. We understand that Jesus is your friend, dude, just stop torturing us. Please!

I'm dead......51 times!

According to the Social Security Death Index for the US, Caroline Gray has died 51 times since 1875. And I'm only 14. How encouraging.

Hungry for breakfast?

Try the new Flushos® cereal today!!!!!

Ok, so I went to my dad's cousin's wedding this past weekend. It was soooo much fun!!! Anyway, on the way back from the wedding, (Sarah and I were riding with my uncle - dad's brother - and his daughter - the one who writes "Opinionated" on my "sites I visit often" list - back to the hotel) we drove by Ingles, and the marquee (that is such a cool word) under the "Ingles"  on the sign by the road said something like this:

1 lb bag of grapes - $4.99

King size candy bar - $0.99

Flu sho s today!

Nathan (my uncle) - Oh, look, you can get Flushos at Ingles today.

Caroline - What?

Leighton - See, on the sign, "Flushos."

Nathan - Yeah, it's the cereal you eat on the toilet.

Then came the advertisement my uncle made up. He's a bit of a jokester.

"The new Flushos from Ingles today! Try the Fruity Flushos or the Choco Flushos!"
*girls giggling*

"On second thought, don't try the Choco Flushos..."

At this point I was about to bust one of the seams in my dress that's too small.

Leighton - "...or the Lemon Flushos"

Nathan - "That could cause some slight indigestion."

I was laughing to hard to say anything. Thankfully, I didn't bust any seams. We got the hotel and were still laughing. Ah, good times!

~Caroline

P.S. If you still don't get it, the marquee was supposed to say "Flu Shots Today!" Just thought I'd clear that up.

Afterthought: Oh, did I forget to mention that we decided that we should use the plunger in lieu of a spoon, and the toilet water instead of milk. Now you're really grossed out, right? Oh, and then to clean your bowl, you use the toilet bowl scrubber.

CHICKEN!!!!!!

Okay, this Terry Jones guy is such a chicken. In case you don't follow all of the news, here's the scoop. (quite thoroughly abridged.)

Pastor Terry Jones was planning to burn a copy of the Quran on the ninth anniversary of 9/11. It was going to be this big event protesting Islam. Well, he chickened out when he realized what kind of trouble he could get into. He said he was going to cancel it to keep our troops in the Middle East safe.

To begin with, the troops in the Middle East weren't safe to begin with. DUH. Now, if Mr. Jones had followed through with his plan, the Muslims probably would have killed him, destroyed his church, and all other manner of naughty things. Once this occurred to him, Mr. Jones decided that his life was more important than his faith. Remind me why this guy is a pastor, please?

Mr. Jones, have you not read about Stephen (Acts 7:54-60), and about John the Baptist (Mark 6:27), and about James (Acts 12:1-3). There are even more verses that don't even talk about specific people, but multitudes of Christians being put to death (Hebrews 11:35-40), and verses about what happens to those who are martyred (Revelation 2:10; 6:9). I even found a bunch of verses that say not to fear death, but to look forward to it (Matthew 10:28; Revelation 2:10; Matthew 16:24-25; Acts 21:13). The Bible says 365 times "Do not fear." Someone's doing some serious fearing, here. I wonder who...

There are two more verses that I'm actually going to type out.

Hebrews 12:4 - In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

This one seems like it's speaking directly to Mr. Jones, doesn't it?

Isaiah 43 - (This isn't exactly what the Bible says, it's really the words to a song that's based on this chapter.) 
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, 
And the waves will not overcome you
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you.
I have called you by name, 
You are mine


Chorus:
For I am the LORD your God
I am the Holy One of Israel, 
Your Savior (repeat)
I am the LORD (do not fear) x4


When you walk through the fire, 
you'll not be burned
And the flames will not consume you
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you
I have called you by name, 
you are mine


CHORUSx2


I'm not trying to point out all of the faults that Mr. Jones has, but really, the faults that we all have. His simply made national news. We're all scared of something at some point, and we all have good reason to be scared of the Muslims, but like I said, the Bible says "Do not fear" 365 times. That would lead me to believe that God doesn't want us to be afraid.

In closing, I want to promise, right here and now, that if I were put into Mr. Jones's position, I would burn that book without a second thought. I'm really not trying to brag, I think I just needed to see my self post that on the internet. *sheepish grin* Anyway, there's my rant for the night. <3 you all!

Great website to look up the Bible verses I posted.

Bieber Fever

Ok, lets make one thing clear.  This post is not about my excessive "Bieber Fever," but rather, the lack therof.  Anyway, here's what I think of "One Less Lonely Girl."

(His words in Blue, mine in Purple.)

Alright, let's go

Um, let's not, please

There's gonna be one less lonely girl (one less lonely girl)

Who says girls are lonely in the first place?

One less lonely girl (one less lonely girl)

Uh...I'm not lonely...

There's gonna be one less lonely girl (one less lonely girl)

Ok, this is not working. *scratches head*

One less lonely girl

Oh boy...

How many "I told you"s and "Start over"s

Excuse me?

And shoulders have you cried on before?

Seriously??

How many promises to be honest girl

You're talking jibberish, dude.

How many tears you let hit the floor?

Ok, that sort of makes sense. None, I usually wipe them off before they get that far.

How many bags you packed

A whole lot, but what does that have to do with - 

Just to take 'em back, tell me that

Oh, wait, you weren't finished. I should have figured.

How many "Either-or"s (but no more)

Come again?

If you let me inside your world

You're already far enough inside my world as it is. What did you think you were doing on my blog?

There'd be one less lonely girl

Oh, not again! *groan*

Saw so many pretty faces (before I saw you)
Awww, how sweet of y - wait a minute, I mean, uh, good! We're not talking about lonely girls anymore.

Now all I see is you

Nice try.

I'm coming for you (I'm coming for you)

I don't think so.

No no

Thank you. That's just what I wanted to hear.

Don't need those other pretty faces like I need you

Hypocrite!!!

And when you're mine in the world

"When you're mine"???? You wish!!!!

There's gonna be one less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)

Oh, please, no

One less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)

*sigh*

One less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)

You have got to be kidding me.

One less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)

...and again...

There's gonna be one less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)

Ah, now we've added three more words to spice it up a bit. How creative.

I'm gonna put you first (I'm coming for you)

Wanna bet?

I'll show you what you're worth (that's what I'm gonna do)

What is that supposed to mean, huh?

If you let me inside of your world

Didn't we already go over this?

There's gonna be one less lonely girl

Oh dear. *sigh*

Christmas wasn't merry, 14th of February not one of them spent with you

And that's a bad thing?
How many dinner dates, set dinner plates
Huh?
And he didn't even touch his food
This is so nonsensical, it's making my brain hurt
How many torn photographs are you taping back?
I'm not in the habit of tearing pictures, thank you very much.
Tell me that you couldn't see an open door
I would if I knew what you were talking about
But no more, if you let me inside or your world
I'm not going to try and explain it again
There'll be one less lonely girl
AHHHHH!!!!!

Saw so many pretty faces (before I saw you)

You already tried that once
Now all I see is you
...and that...
I'm coming for you (I'm coming for you)
...and that...
No no

I don't get it.

Don't need these other pretty faces like I need you

"Need me" ? Oh, brother.
And when you're mine in this world
This is getting really old.
There's gonna be one less lonely girl
No comment.

There's gonna be one less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)

Not again. My head hurts enough already!

One less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)

*sigh*

One less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)

You have got to be kidding me.

One less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)

Hold on...we've done this before.

There's gonna be one less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)

I'm going to shut up until the chorus is over.

I'm gonna put you first (I'm coming for you)

I'll show you what you're worth (that's what I'm gonna do)

If you let me inside of your world

There's gonna be one less lonely girl

I can fix up your broken heart (heart)
What is it with these stupid assumptions? My heart isn't broken!
I can give you a brand new start (start)
What if I don't want one?
I can make you believe 

Believe what?

I just wanna set one girl free to fall (free to fall)

"free to fall"? How heartless!!!
She's free to fall (fall in love)
Oh...I see.
With me
It's not like anyone's stopping me from falling in love "with you", but I wish they were.

Her heart's locked and know what I got the key
Oh, mmhmm, right
I'll take her and leave the world with one less lonely
"take her"? Isn't that sort of illegal?

There's gonna be one less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)

Ok, obviously you don't understand a word I'm saying.

One less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)

*hold until end of chorus, please*

One less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)

One less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)

There's gonna be one less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)

I'm going to shut up until the chorus is over.

I'm gonna put you first (I'm coming for you)

I'll show you what you're worth (that's what I'm gonna do)

If you let me inside of your world

There's gonna be one less lonely girl

One less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)
Ok, technically, this is the end of the chorus, but I'm gonna keep you on hold.

One less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)

One less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)

There's gonna be one less lonely girl


I'm gonna put you first (I'm coming for you)
We've done this already, too.
I'll show you what you're worth (That's what I'm gonna do)
If you let me inside of your world
There's gonna be one less lonely girl

One less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)

We all have this part memorized by now.

One less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)

One less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)
There's gonna be one less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)
I'm gonna put you first (I'm coming for you)
I'll show you what you're worth (That's what I'm gonna do)
If you let me inside of your world
There's gonna be one less lonely girl

Only you, shawty

"shawty"? What is that, some ancient derogatory term for the girl you like?

The End.

Alright, one thing needs to be made clear. You may notice that on the playlist of songs on the bottom of blog, this song is there. It's not because I like the lyrics (obviously). I just like the song, if that makes sense. I like most of Justin Bieber's songs, but the lyrics are annoying. Anyway, sorry if I bored you to death with this lovely little conversation.

The singular of what????

I just noticed today while studying my Roman history that "Pilate," as in Pontius Pilate, looks strangely like the singular of "Pilates."  Strange...

~Caroline

Here lies my explanation

As you may have noticed, I just added a bar on the side with sites that I often visit. Note that it says "I visit often," not that "I like."

Geometry:  It's only on the top because I told the computer to do them alphabetically.

My Awesome Youth Group:  I love the people in my youth group.  Everyone of 'em. Okay, almost everyone. There're always people in your life that you don't really like, so what should make me different? The picture of the youth pastor and his wife is a little outdated.  They have a 10-month-old girl who's super cute.

My Cousin's Epic Blog:  I love to read what she writes. I've started laughing so hard before that I've had to stop long enough to run to the bathroom before I continue to read.

YouTube: Ok, please be forewarned.  YouTube is not very well filtered. Actually, It's probably not filtered at all. Anyway, be careful on this site.

I'm sure I'll add more at some point, but that's all for now, folks!

Have you ever wondered...

Why the sun makes our hair lighter, but our skin darker?

Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed? (believe me, I've tested this in my vast experience with mascara, and I can't seem to do it with my mouth closed. BTW, I don't wear mascara, so I was being sarcastic about "my vast experience.")

Why "abbreviated" is such a long word?

Why it is that doctors call what they do "practice"?

Why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor, but dish soap is made with real lemons?

Why the time of day when traffic is the slowest called "rush hour"?

Why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?


You never really think about this kind of stuff, but when I first read it, I really started wondering.
